In benzene, carbon uses all the three p-...

In benzene, carbon uses all the three p-orbitals for hybridisation .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In benzene, each carbon atom is `sp^(2)-` hydrised: hence, carbon uses only two `p-` orbits for hybrissation.

On hybridisation of one s and three p-orbitals, we get

The AsF_5 molecule is trigonal bipyramidal. The orbitals used by As for hybridisation are

According to hybridisation theory, the % s-character in sp, sp^(2) and sp^(3) hybrid orbitals is 50, 33.3 and 25 respectively, but this is not true for all the species. When theta is the bond angle between equivalent hybrid orbitals then % s and p-character in hybrid orbitals (when only s and p-orbitals are involved in hybridisation) can be calculated by the following formula : costheta=(S)/(S-1)=(P-1)/(P) Q. Correct order of P-P bond length in the following compound is :
